Low Grade Astrocytomas
Astrocytomas are tumors that are believed to arise from precursors of astrocytes – supportive cells of the brain named for their star-like shape. Astrocytomas are the most common of the primary brain tumors. The pathologist, using a microscope, grades these tumors on a scale of I to IV based on how quickly the cells are reproducing, as well as their potential to invade nearby tissue. Grade IV a...
متن کاملComparison of Perfusion, Diffusion, andMR Spectroscopy between Low-Grade Enhancing Pilocytic Astrocytomas and High-Grade Astrocytomas
BACKGROUNDAND PURPOSE: The differentiation of pilocytic astrocytomas and high-grade astrocytomas is sometimes difficult. There are limited comparisons in the literature of the advanced MR imaging findings of pilocytic astrocytomas versus high-grade astrocytomas. The purpose of this study was to assess the MR imaging, PWI, DWI, and MR spectroscopy characteristics of pilocytic astrocytomas compar...
متن کاملProliferative Activity (Ki-67 Expression) and Outcome in High Grade Osteosarcoma: A Study of 27 Cases
Purpose. Although pre-operative chemotherapy has improved the prognosis for individuals with osteosarcoma, approximately 40% of patients will die of their disease.The aim of this study was to quantitate proliferative activity in high grade osteosarcomas and to determine whether proliferation is a prognostic factor.Patients. The study consisted of 27 patients with high grade non-metastatic osteo...
متن کاملDetermination of CD117 Expression in Glial Tumors and Its Comparison between High Grade and Low Grade Tumors
Background and Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors. Despite therapeutic advances, the majority of gliomas do not respond to either chemo or radiotherapy. CD117, the gene product of c-kit has been expressed in cells of glial tumors. Because gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that express CD117 respond dramatically to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ide...
متن کامل[Expression of nuclear Ki-67 antigen in prostatic high grade intraepithelial neoplasia and prostatic carcinoma].
BACKGROUND/AIM Prostatic intraepithelial high grade neoplasia (PINHG) is accepted as preneoplastic lesion in prostatic carcinoma. One of the fundamental events in early oncogenesis is the disruption of proliferative activity. One of the numerous regulatory proteins is Ki-67 expressed in all proliferating cells. Index Ki-67 is considered to have prognostic significance. The aim of the study was ...
